Kayakers returned to the water at Blackwall Reach in Bicton on Friday morning, as Fisheries officers recommenced water and land patrols.
It follows Mr Wrathall being bitten on the thigh by a suspected bull shark while swimming in the river around 8am Thursday.
A Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development spokesman said drumlines would not be used to try and catch the shark that attacked Mr Wrathall due to the narrow section of river and high boat traffic.
